Sam Wyche, former NFL coach and sports analyst, is one of seventeen transplant recipients from across the country chosen to ride on the 2018 Donate Life Float at the 129th Tournament of Roses Parade. He will also participate in handing out commemorative heart artwork to the donor families in attendance.

Bridge to Life is proud to make this opportunity possible through a co-sponsorship with LifeShare of The Carolinas and Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.

Wyche received a heart transplant at Carolinas HealthCare System’s Carolinas Medical Center just over one year ago. Since his operation he is staying healthy and focusing on increasing awareness on the need for more organ, eye and tissue donors.

There are multiple suppliers and distributors of the organ preservation solutions developed by Drs. Belzer and Southard at the University of Wisconsin. All patents on the formulations used in Belzer UW® Solutions (cold storage and machine perfusion) expired in 2006. Bridge to Life has an exclusive trademark license from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) for the trademarks Belzer UW® and Belzer MPS®. In fact, WARF holds an equity position in Bridge to Life Ltd., a WARF startup company. We proudly honor the name of Dr. Belzer and the institution that developed the UW organ preservation solution, which is still the “gold standard” in organ preservation.
